History & usage: CLOCKWISE RIGHTWARDS AND LEFTWARDS OPEN CIRCLE ARROWS WITH CIRCLED ONE OVERLAY depicts circular arrows with an overlaid one, used to show rotation or a looping action. In use, it can indicate a rotating process, such as refreshing content or cycling through options. It can mark navigation or rearrangement steps in a UI, signaling that an operation will loop back to the start or repeat a sequence. It may also appear in workflows to suggest a reset point or to denote a timer or ongoing activity that cycles. Across platforms, appearance varies in color and style, so the exact look may differ in apps and fonts. For accessibility, provide text that clearly states the action, and ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning even when color or design changes.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F502 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
